- ROM - Dorian's JVP v2.0 Stable - Gingerbread 2.3.4

This is a discussion on - ROM - Dorian's JVP v2.0 Stable - Gingerbread 2.3.4 within the Samsung Captivate Hacking forums, part of the Samsung Captivate category; Ok so I was able to get the gingerbread on the phone.

Ok so I was able to get the gingerbread on the phone. Thought all the drivers were installed but apparently not. When flashing the kernel do I do this with the same Odin I used for the new software? When I attempt to open the Kernel that I downloaded there is no program that will open it. Is there something that I am missing? DO I somehow need to get this to the Odin or should It automatically do this for me? I guess while I am at it what about the JVP 2.0, how do I flash this also?

Shut your phone down and boot into Download Mode

Your computer might need to install a driver, but it will do this automatically

Your phone should be listed in a yellow box inside ODIN as a COM number

Press start

ODIN will run through the procedure, flashing your phone with fresh software

DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. Doing so would probably result in a brick.

After ODIN finishes what it's doing, it will automatically restart your phone, then you're safe to unplug it.

make sure the com port is below 10 it should be like com5 or com6 on odin

I believe the com port was 4 on odin which it downloaded the gingerbread software just fine. Its the next step that I kinda get lost. Like I said I am not sure how to flash the kernel. What steps do I take next and how is it done? I understand that I need the Odin open before I put the phone in download mode and connect it my pc with the usb cable. The Odin picks up on my phone, shows it as a com port. But what from here as far as how to flash the kernel? Same with tje JVP 2.0 file? And do I need to reroot my phone after this?

Open ODIN
Click the "PDA" field and select the kernel
Make sure your phone is in download mode and plug it in
Now start the flash...
It will reboot when done.

After flashing that kernel though, you must flash JVP or you won't be able to use your phone until you put some other software back on it or restore it to stock. That kernel is built specifically for i9000 ROM's and won't work with Captivate based ROM's.

The Odin that I have does not give me the option to select the PDA field. It does not give me the option to select anything. Is there another version of Odin that I need to do this with? I already have the new gingerbread sotware on the phone. After I flash the kernel and jvp is that all I need to do? Does that root the phone as well?

Hey Dorian by any chance is there a way i can get the APK for the AT&T Messages app? because i can't download it from the market. i know its kind of random, but i just noticed that and i was wondering.

Yes. ODIN 1.83. And yes, JVP is pre-rooted and has busybox already installed. Basically all you'd have to do is flash the kernel and then flash the JVP ROM and you're good to go.
